ALPHA | BTS FANFICTION

AU - Love Crime - Chapter 9

Third Person POV

"Where could she possibly be?!" Taehyung snapped, his voice strained with anxiety as he paced frantically back and forth in the living room. The man gripped his hair in desperation while waiting for the news of his bride's whereabouts.

Jeon Jungkook was deep in conversation with Do-hwan, who was shaking his head. The elders murmured nervously among themselves, awaiting updates from the security team.

But there was nothing— no news.

Kim Taehyung's worried gaze flickered to the gift bags he had brought for her, still sitting untouched on the couch. His heart hammered in his chest as he clenched his phone, the cold sweat on his palms sticky against the device. His mind raced in circles, the dread clawing at him with every passing second. He could feel his body growing heavier until he felt super lightheaded with the uncertainty of it all. What if she was in danger? What if she had been taken? What if...

"The team located her phone GPS!-" A guard suddenly burst inside the mansion in bewilderment, causing the alphas and the elders to snap their startled gaze to the man. Do-hwan quickly stepped forward to snatch the device from his team, but Kim Taehyung did not wait. FWIP!

"Send me the location!" Taehyung bellowed, hurriedly sprinting out of the mansion before the others as Jungkook snatched the device from Do-hwan's grip to take a look at the live data.

"Yah-" Jungkook tried to speak, but Taehyung had already rushed out of the door, steering sharp toward the parking garage when the corner of his eyes caught on a silhouette of a person. HALT. The man halted in his tracks and snapped his head toward the person with his eyebrows furrowed and lips jar.

There. Just ten feet away from him stood... Jang Sora. The supreme alpha.

The second-rank alpha paused to gawk at her pale face in disbelief as she stood in her pretty dress with her conflicted gaze trained on him. He frowned, unsurely quickening his step toward the young lady who appeared out of nowhere after putting the household into a frantic frenzy. Thud. Thud. Thud. Kim Taehyung clenched his jaw as he stormed toward her with his spewing frustration, but just as he was about to lash out at the young lady- something clogged his pending explosion. Halt. The man paused right in front of her once he noticed her tearful eyes, appearing as if she was on the verge of bursting into tears. He glanced down at her bare dirty feet as she nervously gripped her purse. Where did she come from for her to be in such a cluttered state? He blinked again and glanced up at the twigs in her hair and a little dirt smudge on her cheeks.

"Y-You're back?" Sora blinked, suddenly stepping forward with her arms open, so Taehyung unconsciously welcomed her into his firm embrace. His heart painfully churned once she felt her frail body pressing against his. The man gripped her head and lowered his face to rest against her shoulder as she clutched onto his body. He was unable to express his frustration. Instead. He was relieved. Relieved to have her in his arms again.

"Are you alright?" Taehyung shakily asked while holding her against his pulsing chest. Although he was distraught with her absence, the only words that he could express were his concern for her wellbeing. He had assumed the worst of the cases. Her body... buried in a ditch... perhaps... floating beneath a cold surface... or her limbs... broken and bleeding... her breath... cold and gone. He had imagined it all, but here she was. Whole. Standing right in his embrace, breathing as she should. The only issue was the minor dirty smudge on her cheeks and the twigs in her messy hair.

"I missed you," Sora whispered, tightening her grip around the alpha. Taehyung gripped her back at her shaky words and carefully lifted his hand to pat her head. The man nodded and fastened his arms around her as the elders, Jeon Jungkook and the guards spilled out of the mansion's door to gawk at the supreme alpha's safe return in bewilderment. They had captured her location from her phone signal... and it was within the mansion's property.
